Controversy: Capital case patients

On June 28, 2015, David Sweat, an escaped convicted murderer, was brought to the hospital after being shot by law enforcement searchers. His imprisonment was for killing an on-duty law enforcement officer. That same day an 81 year old prisoner, "the longest-serving inmate in New York state," who had escaped capital punishment in 1962 by accepting a life sentence, was brought to the hospital after allegedly being given a deliberate overdose of medication not even prescribed for him. The hospital had written "accidental overdose" on his medical chart and his medical records were denied to him. A medical negligence case followed. He had killed a 14 year old girl.
